Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 438 (Two chapters in one) Ambush in the rear, hunting generals
After Zhang Ming and the others walked away, some soldiers released a few arrows and ignited the fire.

Suddenly, the fire started.

Spread across the mountain.

Cao Jun, seeing the fire in front of him, knew that he couldn't make it through, and dared not move on.

Cao Jun, who was chasing by tens of thousands in the rear, also stopped.

At this time, Zhang Ming and the others took the opportunity to walk away.

In this battle, the harvest is huge.

The enemy didn't come after them, but Zhang Ming and the others left quickly.

By noon, Zhang Ming and the others had already traveled a long distance, and they were now at the predetermined location to leave in a hot air balloon.

"Zilong, I'll go back first, you stay behind and lead the brothers to evacuate."

Zhang Ming wants to go first, he wants to go back to command the army.

This major victory will definitely change the situation of both sides.

And these armies also need someone to lead, so Zhao Yun stayed.

"Don't worry, brother, I will take them back safely."

Zhang Ming nodded and asked the soldiers to carry Yu Jin into the hot air balloon.

"Some people are also deployed in the rear, ready to attack their grain roads."

Zhang Ming boarded the hot air balloon, and Zhang Ming removed the cloth strip blocking Yu Jin.

"Give him some water."

Something happened and took out the water bag and fed some water to Yu Jin.

After a while, the hot air balloon lifted into the sky, and it was only then that Yu Jin knew how they got here.

"The Marquis of Liao is really not an ordinary person. If this thing attacks the city, there is probably no city that cannot be defeated."

Yu Jin thought, if you put some stones on this thing and smash it against the city wall, who can defend it.

"There are too few of these things, and they are not useful for attacking the city. It is better to keep them to surprise the enemy's rear."

Yu Jin didn't speak, and thought for a while, that's true.

Zhang Ming used this hot air balloon, and it really worked.

This surprise attack caused heavy losses to Cao Jun.

"I heard you killed Dian Wei?"

"Hehe, who did you listen to, Cao Cao?"

"I don't know who said it, it's been rumored all the time."

"Maybe Cao Cao wanted to use my hands to kill Dian Wei, Dian Wei survived, Cao Cao was very passive."

Zhang Ming sat down, drank some water, and continued: "If Dianwei dies, Cao Cao can make him a great official, publicize his loyalty, and prevent Dianwei from being used by me. If he doesn't die, Cao Cao It's really difficult."

"If you don't rescue him, the hearts of others will be chilled. If you want to rescue him, knowing the importance of Dian Wei, you need to pay a huge price. Cao Cao can't afford this price now."

Yu Jin didn't speak, he asked this because he himself became a prisoner.

Now, Yu Jin is also starting to worry about his future.

Zhang Ming said: "I've imprisoned Dianwei for two years, and he hasn't surrendered to me. It's useless to imprison him, and I can't torture him. It's better to kill him."

"In the end I let him go and gave him freedom, but he told him that he can no longer be my enemy, maybe he really won't be my enemy."

Yu Jin opened his eyes wide and said, "Did you really let Dian Wei go?"

"That's right, let him go and set him free."

"With Dian Wei's ability, you may not necessarily be his opponent in a real fight. You are not afraid that he will resent you and eventually become your enemy on the battlefield."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "There is no great hatred between us. I didn't insult him or kill his family. I just captured him on the battlefield."

That's right, I couldn't blame others for being caught because I was incompetent on the battlefield.

The positions are different, and no one can be blamed for winning or losing.

Yu Jin, even if he hated Zhang Ming at this time, he couldn't say how much he hated him.

What happens on the battlefield cannot be blamed on the opponent.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time, and Zhang Ming said again: "It's a pity Dian Wei couldn't die on the battlefield. He left to cover Xu Chu. He promised me to surrender, and I promised him not to pursue Xu Chu and Cao Cao."

"That day, if I don't agree, he and his soldiers will fight to the death. I want to get Dian Wei, but I can't bear to kill him, so I agree to him and give up pursuing Xu Chu and Cao Cao."

"However, I personally killed Xu Chu today."

On the one hand, Cao Cao didn't know about these things, and Zhang Ming didn't say anything about them.

Xu Chu died in battle, and Yu Jin was also moved with emotion.

The two sides did not continue to speak.

After flying for a long time, he finally landed, and Yu Jin was temporarily detained.

On Cao Jun's side, it was already a mess at this time.

Cao Ren finally woke up, but he was seriously injured.

In modern parlance, a concussion.

Cao Ren woke up leisurely, his head hurting badly.

"What, Tiger Chi died in battle and Yu Jin was arrested."

When Cao Ren heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

He began to cry.

"The tiger idiot is me to cover me, otherwise with his ability, he can escape."

"Order all the armies to guard their own defenses, and no one is allowed to fight."

"Protect the food well, let Lu Bu send people to patrol the food road, and make sure there is no mistake."

Although Cao Ren was lying in pain, he knew the seriousness of the matter and he had to stabilize the army first.

Cao Jun's attack was huge, two generals.

Yu Jin was the chief general defending a mountain, and at this time the deputy general was in charge.

Cao Ren immediately began to write a letter to Cao Cao. This time is very important and many plans may be changed.

And Zhang Ming called some generals after he went back.

"Send troops immediately, without going to war, just under the mountains."

Right now, Zhang Ming doesn't want to fight yet, and if he wants to fight, he will have to wait until night. Now let's see if there are any openings between the mountains.

Zhang Ming also took people to the front line, where he wanted to summarize all aspects of the situation.

At night, Zhang Ming ordered a small army to attack.

At this time, most of the special forces had not returned.

Hot air balloons can only transport a few people at a time, and it takes a while.

Zhang Ming and the others started a tentative attack.

After attacking several times, Zhang Ming has been summarizing the news.

"Well, there is a problem."

Zhang Ming saw the problem.

It turns out that there are relatively few connections between the peaks, although this does not explain anything.

"Perhaps Cao Ren was seriously injured."

"I'll have a look tomorrow."

Zhang Ming ordered to withdraw the troops and go back.

The next day, Zhang Ming started to attack.

A full-scale attack on several mountain peaks is of course a tentative attack.

Sure enough, all mountain peaks and intersections are on the defensive.

"I will attack you all the way, and see how you respond."

Zhang Ming felt that there must be something wrong with their command, and it might have a miraculous effect to attack all the way.

Zhang Ming began to choose a mountain to attack, and this road was the army led by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu also received the news and knew what happened.

He takes the army to defend, and it is difficult for others to break through his defense.

Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Gao Lan to attack there with tens of thousands of people.

But they are all tentative attacks, or very careful attacks.

A large number of soldiers held shields and advanced carefully. After approaching, the two sides shot at each other. The casualties of each were only about a hundred people in a day.

At this time, Zhang Ming has been trying to find their flaws.

Cao Cao received the news from the rear.

"Ah, I am also angry."

"In one day, I lost two beloved generals."

Cao Cao shouted and cried very sadly.

This time it was really sad, Xu Chu has always been his favorite general.

Back then Xu Chu and Dian Wei had been guarding him.

Now, he lost both of them.

And Yu Jin, his ability is also very strong.

Cao Cao wailed loudly.

He even fainted from crying.

Xu Chang panicked for a while.

Cao Cao is the backbone of everyone.

He already suffered from headaches, but now that he passed out, who knows if he will wake up.

When Cao Cao woke up, he hurriedly called the people around him.

Cao Ren was injured, and there were few medical treatment options. At this time, his head still hurts very much.

They only prepared medicine for trauma, but no medicine for Cao Ren.

Therefore, Cao Ren's condition became a big problem.

Cao Cao must now appoint a new commander in chief.

There are still many Cao generals, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others are all good.

However, they can be generals who charge into battle, but they are not good candidates to be commanders.

Without a good commander, it is very dangerous, because they are facing Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming still kept many special teams in the rear to investigate and sabotage.

As long as they are given a chance, Zhang Ming doesn't mind attacking them again.

Cao Cao didn't have any good candidates for a while.

Just leaving it like this at this time is not an option.

Cao Cao was very embarrassed.

"Is it time to withdraw the troops?"

At this time, they blocked Zhang Ming for more than 20 days.

This caused him to lose two generals, and another general was injured.

Cao Cao was very helpless.

Difficult to decide, Cao Cao called several staff.

"Quickly evacuate."

"For those aristocratic families who are unwilling to evacuate, don't worry about them now, let them hand in a share of the money, at least [-]% of the family property, and then let them go."

Cao Cao can't care about anything else now.

Once something goes wrong on the front line, he must evacuate immediately and quickly.

On the other side, Xi Zhicai and Zhang He led an army of [-] troops, and they had captured several counties on the periphery.

These are all unimportant counties, not strategic locations, and they don't pose much threat to them for the time being.

There is no threat, and it does not mean that it is useless, at least it has a lot of psychological pressure on many people.

Xi Zhicai did not explode, but was waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, the enemy also took precautions against them, so Xi Zhicai did not find a good chance to decide the victory.

The whole situation is very unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has been thinking about ways to break the situation.

This is what Cao Cao can do to speed up the transfer of personnel.

On the third day, Cao Cao ordered to dispatch the army and began to take the people to forcibly transfer.

Originally, the progress was slow, but with the presence of weapons, the efficiency of the transfer was greatly improved.

But forcing the people to move with a knife is very hurtful, and Cao Cao can't help it.

In the end, Cao Cao sent Xun You to replace Cao Ren as the commander-in-chief.

Xun You's ability is enough, but he doesn't have enough prestige.

However, he secretly wrote letters to several Cao generals, and they fully supported Xun You, so it is expected that there will be no major problems.

Cao Cao can only arrange this way.

Speeding up the progress, Cao Cao has arranged for the emperor to move south.

Many officials and attendants in the palace have been transferred, but the emperor could not leave early.

The matter of the emperor affects the whole body.

If the emperor has run away, people's hearts will fluctuate.

Now, Cao Cao no longer has to hide.

After transferring for so long, people's hearts have long been floating.

So, he prepared to arrange for the emperor to evacuate.

The emperor was evacuated, but Cao Cao could not evacuate yet.

He wants to delay as much as possible and transfer the population as much as possible.

Zhang Ming tried for several days and finally found something.

"There must be something wrong with Cao Ren. There may be something wrong with their command system."

"This is the opportunity to attack Lu Bu."

Zhang Ming intends to come and fight for real.

However, this battle is not easy to fight, he wants to start from the periphery first.

Zhang Ming ordered the army to attack at a certain intensity.

And he was always looking for loopholes.

Finally, the special forces team in the rear made another contribution.

They found that there were troops patrolling the mountain road, and the most important thing was that they were led by generals.

It's not fun to kill some soldiers, but it's fun to kill some generals.

There are not many troops leading patrols, only a few hundred to a thousand.

On the mountain, this is the world of their special forces.

If you can't do anything with you head-on, then sneak attack.

Sneak attack is the specialty of special forces.

For the squad in the rear, the captain has the right to fight.

So, a small captain called two nearby captains.

"Hold in for too long, give him a vote, let's change places?"

The other two team leaders said: "Okay, but which team is covering behind?"

When everyone was in a dilemma, a small team leader said: "Draw lots, we will kill him three times, taking turns to cover."

"Okay, anyway, our reconnaissance mission has been completed, and the next step is the harassment mission."

The three of them started planning.

But whether it was a night attack or a sneak attack during the day, there are different opinions.

"It's still easy to start during the day, but difficult to retreat at night."

"At night, they dare not pursue them. Our crossbow bolts are enough for them."

"No, the first time must be during the day, and we have to kill a general to have influence."

Everyone nodded, the general can be killed at night, but it can't be confirmed.

It's easy to confirm during the day, they can find out whether people are dead or not.

Therefore, the three decided to ambush a general on the mountain road.

To ambush a person, although there is an army to protect him, it doesn't need too many people, just a few crossbow bolts can be done.

The three team leaders were familiar with this area, and quickly discussed and decided on an ambush spot.

"Ambush on the side of the road, it's not difficult to start."

"The escape route has to be re-optimized. Concentrate one and a half small teams and prepare to block it."

The three discussed for a while.

The three began to prepare.

Just don't know which unlucky ghost will bump into them.

Three people are preparing.

They waited for several hours, and after the arrangement was completed, they lurked patiently.

In front, more than a dozen people were in ambush, and there were responders behind.

There are only more than 20 people in a team.

There are also Cao Jun who come and go.

But they all felt that it was not a big fish, so they quit.

Wait until it's almost dark, and if it's dark, they give up.

"A soldier came to report and found a team of about 1000 people coming."

"There's a general on horseback, that's all."

Everyone began to prepare.

Sun Guan, one of the eight generals under Lu Bu's command.

I was ordered to come out to patrol, because their food road was a little unstable.

Zhang Ming can run to the rear to attack and kill their generals, and it is normal to attack their grain roads.

Sun Guan sat on the horse and became very vigilant, looking around.

From time to time, soldiers were asked to shoot arrows into the bushes and bushes.

Along the way, nothing unusual was found.

Gradually, Sun Guan relaxed his vigilance.

Now, Sun Guan didn't work too hard.

Originally a direct descendant of Lu Bu, he was very popular.

But Lu Bu took refuge in Cao Cao, and Lu Bu's status was lowered. Compared with Cao Cao's own generals, the status of these generals was even worse.

Therefore, Sun Guan has always been relatively negative.
